How You Can Help
Youth Fire Intervention Teams (YFIT)
The Youth Fire Intervention Team is ready to help -- all you need to do is call the duty officer to activate the team. If you are interested in joining this important team, please contact
Douglas.L.Johnson@state.mn.us.
You can find the YFIT protocol here.
Training
Intervention specialist and program manager training is available. Learn more in the
training section of our website.
On-site questionnaire
You can keep this on the trucks or in chief vehicles in case you come upon a youth-set fire. This form outlines critical criteria that will help decide which actions to take with a child.
If a family comes to the fire station with a child who is starting fire, please have the intake form handy for your office staff to use.
